When Cody got home from work last Thursday, we packed up the car and headed to the mountains for a little camping excursion. Cody isn't a big fan of "campsite" camping, so this time we found a dirt road in the national forest and drove until we found a good site. The site was awesome! It was by a stream and I think 2 cars drove by the entire time we were there. We roasted hotdogs over the fire. The best way to have a hotdog! The kids loved exploring and, of course, were filthy dirty. They both needed new outdoor shoes and I bought some in time for the trip, and all I can say now is goodbye clean white, hello brown dirt! We only stayed one night, but had fun and decided that we would love to own property and a cabin in the Wetmore Mountains someday. It was beautiful and not too far away from where we live.

The rest of our Labor Day weekend we spent at home. Cody and I both had to prepare talks for Sacrament meeting on Sunday, so that consumed Saturday (I guess Cody did watch and listen to some football, go BYU!, and we did take a little break and headed to our ward's annual Luau). Today we cleaned up around the house, I went running without the kids (yippee!) and we "labored" at home.

Be careful taking off on dirt road to go camping....HOI! The scraping sound still haunts me to this day! Never again will I 4-wheel up a trail narrower than our pathfinder! I almost cry everytime I see our bumper to bumper scratches! Glad you had fun though.

April 2014

In a nutshell...

Lisa and I met in Chicago during the summer of 2002 while doing summer jobs between semesters of college. We met at church, found out we grew up in the same town, were both going to BYU and that was how it started! We were married in April of 2003. We graduated from BYU in 2004 and moved to Baltimore, MD. Cody graduated in May of 2008 from the U of MD Dental School and we moved to CO to work. Cody purchased a dental practice in Park City, UT and we moved back the end of December 2008. Tucker came along in September of 2005, Aubrey in April of 2007, Cole in January of 2009 and Blake in July of 2010. Lisa was diagnosed with brain cancer in January of 2012. After a four year battle she unfortunately passed away in April of 2016 and returned to her heavenly home. We hope you enjoy keeping up with our family!
